Post-Acceptance Processing

Once an article is formally accepted for publication, the corresponding author will receive a notification that the manuscript has moved to the copyediting stage. During this phase, the manuscript will be reviewed for language clarity, formatting, and adherence to the journal's style guidelines. Authors will then receive a set of page proofs and will need to look them carefully, respond to any editorial queries, and submit any necessary corrections. Once proofing is complete and all revisions are finalized, the article will proceed to the production stage, where it will be prepared for online publication.
